Getting There By Air Mariscal Sucre International Airport (UIO) Tel: (02) 2944900. Website: www.quiport.com Located just 5km (3 miles) from the centre of town, the airport is served by numerous US and European airlines. Most European and Australian flights require a change at Los Angeles, Newark, Miami, Houston or Lima. KLM flies from many European cities including London via the Caribbean. Iberia flies direct from Madrid. Lufthansa flies from Frankfurt and Air France from Paris, both via Bogota. The national carrier is Tame (tel: (02) 2509375; website: www.tame.com.ec). The airport has 24-hour ATMs, a tourist information centre with free Internet use, post office, shops, restaurants, bars and car hire. There are currently no facilities for business travellers, although they will be available in the new, much expanded airport, due to open in 2008. There are buses for the short journey into town, but they tend to be overcrowded and unreliable – taxis are recommended. Car hire is available in the arrivals hall. |
